With the league leaders Acornbush United looking all but set to have booked their place in the upcoming 2019 ABC Motsepe League National Play-Offs for the second time in three seasons, much of the attention now has been diverted to the bottom of the league table.

Mhluzi Black Rangers, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the league, have endured the worst start to the year 2019 – failing to win any of their seven Mpumalanga ABC League games since the New Year and look set for SAB League football next season.

Mhluzi will play host to eleventh-placed Somhlolo United who will be coming into this fixture fresh from a confidence boosting 1-0 win against Nkomazi Real Aces.The game will be played under the floodlights of the Keestaljaart Stadium in Middelburg with the kick off set at 18:00.

On Saturday, second last-placed FC Benfica will be visited by a hugely revitalized Nkomazi Royal Eagles who have finally found consistency following their tough start to the campaign. Royal Eagles’ current run of nine games undefeated has seen them force their way into the top half of the table, they are currently seventh, with 34 points accumulated in 21 games.
